Question

The following reaction was carried out in a 2.50 L reaction vessel at 1100 K:

C(s)+H2O(g)?CO(g)+H2(g)

B) If during the course of the reaction, the vessel is found to contain 5.75 mol of C, 16.0 mol of H2O, 4.00 mol of CO, and 7.50 mol of H2, what is the reaction quotient Q?

C) The reaction 2CH4(g)?C2H2(g)+3H2(g) has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.154.

If 6.60 mol of CH4, 4.80 mol of C2H2, and 10.75 mol of H2 are added to a reaction vessel with a volume of 5.20 L , what net reaction will occur?

Explanation / Answer

        C(s)   + H2O(g) ------------ CO(g) + H2(g)

volume = 2.50L

number of moles of C = 5.75 moles

number moles of H2O= 16.0 moles

number of moles of CO= 4.00 moles

number of moles of H2= 7.50 moles

concentration of C= number o fmoles/volume = 5.75/2.5 = 2.3M

concentration of H2O= 16.0/2.50=6.4M

concentration of CO= 4.00/2.50=1.6M

concentration of H2= 7.50/2.50 = 3.0M

Q= [CO][H2]/[C][H2O] = 1.6x3.0/2.3x6.4

Q= 0.326.

C)

2 CH4(g) ---------------- C2H2(g )   + 3 H2(g)

volume = 5.20L

Concentration of CH4= 6.60/5.20 = 1.269M

concentration of C2H2 = 4.80/5.20= 0.923M

Concentration of H2= 10.75/5.20 = 2.067

Q= [C2H2][H2]^3/[CH4]^2

Q= 0.923x(2.067)^3/(1.269^2

Q= 2.45

K= 0.154

Q > K

The reaction will proceed to the left.
